...Winter Storm Expected To Impact Region Tonight...

.A vigorous upper-level disturbance will track along the Gulf

the Mid-Atlantic coast by Sunday night. This will result in a
period of moderate to heavy snow Saturday night and early Sunday.
The heaviest snow will track from the high country of western
North Carolina along the Blue Ridge and into central Virginia, or
